Readers' Rides Photography Tips - Your Time To Shine And Here’s How With Our Bonus Tutorial

Reader's rides

This section of the mag is one of our favs, where we get to see what you drive day in and day out. We know all of you can’t afford or have the time to build a crazy feature car, but that doesn’t mean we still don’t have love for you. But let’s be honest, it still surprises us that we’ve been doing Readers’ Rides for years and more than half of you don’t know how to take a proper photo of your car. Now, we’re not expecting you to do some fancy Matty Icey shit with a $3,000 digital full-frame camera, but it’s not rocket science to take a good photo that highlights your car with today’s simple point-and-shoot cameras. All it takes is some careful positioning and common sense—which we’ll gladly show you with the help of online editor, Jofel Tolosa and his Scion FR-S.

We should note the magic hour for shooting the car is during sunset or sunrise but we’re only trying to help you shoot a good, clean photo for Readers’ Rides. And yes, we know Jofel is using a phone here. His iPhone5 as well as phones like a Galaxy4 have good enough cameras, but that doesn’t mean every phone works. We still prefer to see high quality shots from a proper camera.

How to Submit

Once you have your killer photos, e-mail them in high resolution (if it’s under one megabyte we’ll sign you up for junk mail) to superstreet247@gmail.com. And remember to include your contact information. We’ve created a template using Jofel and his ride so you can’t mess up!
